KATIA'S STAR

FANCY COTTON AND VISCOSE YARN

Katia Estrella is that summer yarn that catches the eye and convinces upon touch. Its cotton and viscose blend gives it a soft, light finish with a subtle matte-sheen effect that enhances any project. It's perfect for those looking to knit fresh, elegant garments with a special touch, the kind that seem simple but make a big statement.

Carla believes it's one of those qualities that helps achieve a beautiful garment without the need for an overly elaborate design, because the yarn itself provides luminosity and presence.

AN ELEGANT, SOFT, AND VERY VERSATILE SUMMER YARN

Katia Estrella is a fancy cotton and viscose yarn designed for mid-season and summer garments with a delicate and sophisticated finish. Thanks to its silky feel and pleasant drape, it adapts very well to both knitting and crochet, allowing you to create everything from light tops to short jackets, vests, or children's garments with a lot of personality.

Maite highlights that, when she saw it knitted, she particularly liked how it behaves in openwork stitches and open textures: the garment gains freshness, movement, and a discreet shine that is much more appreciated in the finished piece. It is a very suitable option for those who want a refined, feminine, and easy-to-combine result.
